You deserve a boyfriend who cares about your needs. You deserve a boyfriend who will offer their shoulder for your tears. You deserve a good life. Don’t let some bad boyfriend bring you down. Never let anyone take away your smile. You deserve to make this world a better place than when you entered it. These are the signs that the guy that you’re dating is a player and you should probably dump him.

1. He mentions his ex in too positive of a manner. You get the impression that they are not just friends, but still have a connection. He could be dating the two of you at the same time. He may have actually never broke up with her.

2. He won’t see you at certain times of the week or has poor reasons why he can’t see you during that time.

3. He makes poor excuses to cancel on you — chalks it up to allergies, says he ate too much food, wants to spend time cleaning behind his television.

4. When you visit him, you find trinkets that belong to other women that are not you.

5. Sometimes he says he swears he told you certain details. What he means is that he told another lady the same details but forget which one he told.

6. He says whatever he can to get some action with you; lying is not beneath him. It’s confusing as to whether or not he wants a relationship with you or is playing the field.

7. He gets up and leaves to make mysterious phone calls that he doesn’t tell you who it was.

8. He refers to other women frequently and doesn’t seem to have a clear definition of what is a female friend. He may refer to you simply as friend even if you feel like that stage has past.

9. He mocks you and says you don’t trust him enough.

10. He seems tired and disconnected all the time. You know he works hard, but he doesn’t seem as energetic as you. He may be spending his energy on someone else.

11. When describing you and why he likes you, he lists of his favorite features as though you are a car. He struggles to talk about why he thinks he has a good connection with you.

12. He is jealous of any male presence in your life. This is very telling. Jealous people often go behind other people’s backs to get some action. They don’t trust people because they betray people behind their backs.

13. The terms of your relationship or dating experience are too loose. It makes it easy for him to say, well you weren’t exactly my girlfriend, were you? Dick move for sure.

14. He seems emotionally confused more than he should. One moment he is warm to you, the next he is cold. You can chalk it up to stress or other life events, but at some point it will become suspicious.

15. He only has one favorite activity with you. He never plans dates. He never asks about your friends. He never asks about your family. He only wants your body.

16. He leaves for extended periods of time, whole weekends, without telling you where he went and who you went with. You would have to try prying it out of him to get any information.

17. He says he isn’t anywhere near in his life to settle down with one woman.

18. You met him on a dating app and he is still using dating apps frequently. You can find his profile on it. He says he got into dating apps to hookup with lots of ladies.

19. He treats people in service with no respect. He makes rude comments about wait staff, he never says thank you, and he walks all over people. This is someone who doesn’t respect people’s feelings.

20. He is way too sexual to be normal. He often wants to try new things that he found out about and pressures you into things you didn’t really want to try.

21. He frequently makes promises he can’t keep because he hopes the promise will impress you. He has not intention of follow through.

22. He isn’t interested in what makes you tick as a person. He’d rather just know you on a shallow basis.

23. He broke up with his last girlfriend for you. He will eventually break up with you for someone else. Maybe even go back to his last girlfriend… if he ever did break up with her.

24. He confuses what’s happened in your life with another girl he has been seeing.

25. He gets dates and times confused all the time.

26. He asks you if you would be interested in a threesome.
